Happy Tuesday! 😍😍😍
 
Last night, the annual MET Gala was held in NYC, and it did not disappoint!
 
The theme of the evening was "Superfine: Tailoring Black Style," a celebration of Black dandyism and the influence of Black style in fashion history.
 
And Black Hollywood absolutely showed up and showed out, highlighting an array of Black designers and historical Black fashion trends. 💃💃💃
 
For the first time, I actually watched the red carpet show (hosted by E! News) in its ENTIRETY!
 
My TOP THREE looks of the evening are as follows:
 
1) ZENDAYA 🥇🥇🥇

 

The best look of the night was Zendaya... HANDS DOWN!
 
My goodness, her tailor-made pantsuit was nothing short of classic, sleek elegance that was CLEARLY a nod to style ICONS, Ms. Diana Ross and Bianca Jagger!
 
Zendaya's look was absolute PERFECTION!!!
 
2) NICKI MINAJ 🥈🥈🥈

 

My (close) second favorite look of the night was Nicki Minaj!
 
I don't follow Nicki's career, but I've never seen her so polished and REFINED! Her look fit the theme to a tee, very much reminiscent of legendary opera singer, Marian Anderson, during the Harlem Renaissance!
 
3) KEKE PALMER 🥉🥉🥉

 

My third favorite look was Keke Palmer!
 
She looked absolutely RADIANT in her wedding gown/tuxedo ensemble! Very chic!
 
And, of course, there were several other looks that made a splash!

 

Who were your faves of the evening? What did you think of the theme?
 
Who was a HIT... and who was a MISS? 💅💅💅
 
Check out the gallery of Black women MET Gala attendees! Your thoughts?

Maybe you just want a nice gentleman caller to spend some quality free ...
Taylor vs. Tori: White Wedding?
Happy Tuesday, Coffee Talkies! Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce exchanged "I dos" over the holiday weekend... And, apparently, everyone in the world scored an invite to the lavish party that spared no expense! Sounds like it was tons of fun, too! BUT... Today, many of Taylor's most loyal and devoted fans (AKA Swifties) have a MAJOR bone to pick with one of Taylor's backup dancers... Tori Evans. W...
Keke & Sean: Is It Really Happening?
Happy Wednesday, Coffee Talkies! Keke Palmer and Sean Evans are back in the news for all the right reasons... And folks, these two might just make it after all!

Earlier this month, you'll recall that t...
